Heroes Volume 1 was definitely one of, if not the defining Volume of Heroes. With the over-the-top storyline of saving the world from an apoctalyptic future, and some great moments in between, it was one of TV’s finest. Spanning from September 25 2006 to May 23 2007 with a few week breaks in between and ranking out at 23 episodes, it was no short season. I remember the very night Heroes premiered, seeing the classic scene of Peter about to test his flight, thinking “this is huge.” OK, maybe I didn’t think that, but something like that. The show started off with 5 people in an ordinary world with average storylines, but then it exploded, no pun intended. The show had me scrambling for pen and paper to keep up, and it was a permanent fixture on Monday nights. The Volume also brought quotes that I nearly cite off every day, including “It’s time for me to be somebody Nathan!”, “My Name is Hiro Nakamura, and I am from the future!”, and more. The acting was superb, the action was that of a blockbuster, and the writing was beautiful and epic, keeping me gasping at the great turns and twists, leaving me gasping for air telling my friends about it Tuesday morning, and looking at them having not a clue of what I was talking about. Although there were a miniscule bumps sometimes where the story didn’t seem to go as fast, and some other tiny tiny things, but Heroes Volume 1 Genesis provided a superb overall experience that no sci-fi fan should forget. (Total Grade: A)

With Volume 2 gone thanks to the Writer’s Strike (I still want a Heroes Christmas Special), Heroes will be resume sometime in 2008 for Volume 3, Villains. The Volume looks to be one of the biggest and most explosive in recent memory. TIm Kring said that they gave it that name due to the vast number of villains coming in. But, knowing Heroes, it will probably be much more complicated than that. I expect to see The Company playing a big part, also Sylar, and maybe even Mr. Bennet. Overall, Heroes has definitely earned its spot on my DVR and will continue to be there when it returns.
